Numbers Stations: Cold War Secret Signals

About this episode

This episode explores the mysterious phenomenon of Numbers Stations and their connection to Cold War espionage.

Hello Seekers! Tonight's episode covers one of my favorite topics - Government espionage and conspiracy! WOO-HOO! Specifically, one of the strangerst relics of Cold War Intelligence: Numbers Stations. For decades, shortwave radio listeners around the world have reported hearing anonymous broadcasts where a voice calmly reads strings of numbers into the airwaves. There's no station identification. Just a string or groups of seemingly random numb ers, sometimes proceeded by music or a tone, and then.... nada. These broadcasts are almost certainly tools of espionage (and I want to know how to get that job)! So, sit back, relax and get weird with us!
